These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Seyma Gungor. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Seyma is very adaptive and empathic to understand me as a client when it comes to an approach which suits my character. She is very knowledgable, understanding, gentle and supportive when discussing all varieties of topics or concerns. I would highly recommend Seyma to anyone wishes to be more self aware and understand their own emotions more deeply. Often we have our own answers and we just need a new way to see them.

Seyma Gungor is a very caring therapist who puts in a lot of effort to help you wherever you are in life. She will take time out of her day to message you and make sure you’re okay through showing understanding of your feelings, but by also recommending tasks to help you progress in what you’re feeling. 10/10 would recommend this lovely lady.
